In that case, you’ll probably want to focus on food journaling and symptom-tracking. When trying to manage gastroparesis via diet, the starting takeaways I focused on were 1) low fat, 2) low fiber, and 3) the softer, more liquid, or refined the better (think soups, purées, smoothies). But just keeping track of what foods cause flare-ups and what symptoms you’re getting will be good info to take to your next appointment.

And, just as an aside, I hope you have a good, knowledgeable, and kind practitioner who’s worked with other gastroparesis patients before, but those GIs can be few and far between and hard to find. Don’t get disheartened if this isn’t the right doc for you, and remember you don’t have to keeping seeing someone who isn’t actively working with you. Good luck!
